  PNP. After 15 minutes nose becomes enticing, baking spices and black raspberries dominate. Dark color, medium body, oak is well integrated. Solid juice, great QPR.

  13% alcohol. The good long cork is penetrated a quarter of the way. Relatively deep colour, and slightly cloudy.
  The nose is enticing, with mixed red berries and some (not overpowering) raisiny notes. Very satisfying mouth, with very good length and perfectly judged acidity. The oak is confined to an unobtrusive support rôle, as it should. Very good grip.
  Well up to 1-er cru standard, and indeed more enjoyable than some 1-er crus from this very same address.
  A success without a doubt. Can age another 5 to 10 years in my opinion.

  Pure ruby with a clear rim. The wines from Laurent always smell wonderful (in their own way) in good vintages in my opinion. This is a good example - deep Pinot fruit, integrated oak and floral note. Medium bodied palate that is missing a bit of heft. A bit dry on the finish. Good not great. (87)

  Wow – this wine has certainly come together and improved over the past few years. No doubting that this is Laurent – wood spice is very prominent. What has changed is better integration, brighter, more obvious fruit and the feeling that the wine now revealing what it can. Still, this is good to very good village only. While there is good flavor penetration, it comes up a bit short. (87)
